What other schizophrenia communities do you use?

Lounge

I use reddits r/Schizophrenia and r/Psychosis most of the time. I like it because the mods there are so much more chill.

2

Lots of suicide and drugs talk on reddit

I don’t use any other SZ communities. I don’t use Reddit at all because it’s a sewer, even for photography discussions.

I personally have not experienced all that negativeness. The top communities are moderated well and it’s really only those obscure communities with bad moderators that are like this.

I dont use any other forums either. I find this one comfortable/cosy.

The subreddit for schizophrenia was the first one I found when I first got sick, And I got the message that there no hope if you have this illness.

I use r/schizoaffective because I have psychotic depression.

I must admit reddit has a bigger community but I don’t like the layout

This.

I tried Reddit three times. Hated it.

This place is so welcoming and supportive, I have no need for anywhere else. :hugs:

I would use this community more but the mods are so strict. On Reddit I have so much freedom and can talk about any subject without being banned/posts removed. <3 Reddit on the other hand.

This place is the only forum for schizophrenia I’ve used the last 30 years and that’s why you know me so well.

I sometimes visit survivingantidepressants. It’s not exactly sz forum, but a lot of people there talk about their experience with tapering psych meds. It’s a good resource if you need to taper for a switch in meds or if you got a legitimate reason to quit.

I used to visit a discord server. It was very toxic. Tried Twitter for socialization and didn’t like that either.

The Twitter SZ communities are amazeballs if you enjoy watching people scrap over the dumbest things imaginable while hurling bigoted insults at each other. Same with the autism communities there, tbh.

I was on the mentalhealth forum. It has a psychosis, loneliness, anxiety section etc.

But I don’t know

I just didn’t feel like staying.

I don’t like the layout of the site.

It’s polluted by a lot of the people who couldn’t follow the rules here and you have to sift through their rubbish posts. Not the best signal-to-noise ratio because of this.

If you enter a forum that promotes antipsychotics neglect or use of narcotics then all your alarm bells all should ring and you should choose to hit the road.

Yeah I’ve seen them. I was just like “oh it’s this guy”.
